Valentine's Day

I'm sure that many out there are expecting my usual rant on the topic of the evil that is Valentine's Day. After all, I've done it every other year since the age of about 14, sending forth bitterness and bile before it was fashionable to do so. I've upset a boyfriend by saying "cheers" to the chocolates he gave me on Valentine's Day and then taking them with me to rehursal where I proceeded to hand them around. I've upset a potential boyfriend even more by just not noticed the card he carefully tucked under a pile of books on my desk until March. I've projected disdain for the day into the world since I was a teenager being mocked in school for being too ugly to get a Valentine's Day card, and yet this year I've found myself feeling something new.

I think I'm mellowing.

My dissertation boiled down to haiku form

So many dead men
Buried amidst secrecy
I don't understand
